Abstract

Brachial plexopathy may be developed by direct trauma, compression, infection, radiation tumors and other numerous causes. The brachil plexopathy are infrequently found in patients with carcinoma, which usually invade the lower trunk or medial cord of brachial plexus by contiguous spread from the lung such as Pancoast tumor. In rate cases, a distant metastatic tumor may involve the brachial plexus, which also predominantly invade to the lover trunk and medial cord, that is explained by the location of the lateral group of axillary lymph node as frequent metastatic sites. Herein we report a rare case of brachil plexopathy, in which strict upper trunk of plexus was involved by distant metastatic undifferentiated carcinoma cell to the lymph node.
